This study, conducted in the Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh in 2024, re-evaluates the constraints faced by dairy farmers by comparing a sample of 60 Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) trained farmers with 60 non-trained counterparts. Employing the Garrett Ranking Technique, the research identifies and prioritizes the socio-psychological, infrastructural, economic, and technical challenges in the contemporary dairy sector. The findings reveal a significant shift in the nature of constraints over the past decade. Economic challenges, particularly the high cost of commercial feeds and unremunerative milk prices, have intensified and now represent the most critical hurdles for both groups. However, the analysis demonstrates that KVK training significantly alters the perception and ranking of other constraints. Trained farmers exhibit fewer concerns regarding access to finance and the quality of veterinary and AI services, but their focus shifts towards structural issues like the availability of land for fodder cultivation. The study concludes that while KVKs remain effective in enhancing access to services and financial products, their curriculum must evolve to incorporate financial literacy, market risk management, and strategies to address systemic resource shortages to maintain their impact in an increasingly volatile economic environment. Policy interventions should focus not only on farmer training but also on systemic improvements in service delivery and market structures to support a viable dairy ecosystem.
